Biofuel Station in Eugene

We are excited about the Sequential Biofuel station opening up in Eugene this weekend. We drive a biofueled VW Beetle and previous to the station we had two 3-hour windows a week to fuel up from a mobile gas station (a truck). It was a cool experience knowing it was the early days of alternative fueling and there was a sense of commraderie as we waited in the line filled with lots of old Mercedes, VW TDIs and big Ford and Dodge trucks. We always meant to take pictures of it but never did.

The station is way cool. It used to be an old gas station and the Sequential people spent the good part of year doing environmental clean up on it. They are using solar energy for the store and have a green roof. The will be selling local produce and foods including treats from Sweet Life which is an incredible local bakery that can make anything vegan.

The grand opening is on Saturday and I will try and make it down and take some pictures.

How was the opening? My friend was driving back from Ashland on Friday (in a rental biodiesel Jeep Liberty) and was bummed that it wasn't open yet.

The opening was a mad house! Lots of people came out. I didn't have a camera that day but next time I fill up I'll get some pictures.

The station rocks!
